Certificate expiration is a team problem that keeps getting assigned to one person. We just shipped the tools to fix that.

New post. AI code looks great in the diff and breaks on the first edge case. The instinct is to reverse-engineer the author's assumptions, but that approach is slow and usually wrong.

If you’re still treating cert renewals like a calendar reminder, March is gonna be spicy.

This is one of my favorite cybersecurity posts we've done. I dug into the data on MITM attacks and the threat model most of us worry about is basically fiction.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M, to detain 4k people of whom only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Plus two citizens murdered.

I keep seeing AI-generated diffs that are plausible and wrong in the most annoying ways: missing guards, cargo-cult hooks, swallowed promises.

If your review is vibes, you’re gambling. Production has receipts.

We wanted to understand how rugged English-Scots-Irish culture has shaped America. So we talked to three white South African billionaires at a sex party in the Bahamas.

BygoneSSL isn't theoretical. We found a valid certificate on our own domain, issued to someone we've never met. Getting it revoked was an experience.

It’s weird to see people who aren’t from Minnesota talking about Minnesota.

We also have amazing Somali and Hmong populations.

The best part of this country is the melding pot of culture.

If he wants English-Scott-Irish, then he should move to England, Scotland, or Ireland.

Your Speed Index is bad but the page looks fine?

Lighthouse records a video of your page loading and scores how fast the viewport fills in. Not just the first pixel, the whole visual experience.

β€œCertificate automation” that ends at issuance is wishful thinking. CertKit Agent is issue, deploy, verify, plus the boring stuff like perms and restarts.

Already tried:

- I can't get the servercore VM on my ARM64 mac.

- DigitalOcean doesn't support Windows

- Azure wants to charge me $90/mo for the smallest VM that can run it.

I want to have a test Windows Server/IIS Server to test integrations with @certkit.io. It doesn't need to save any state.

Microsoft friends, what's the best way to do this?

Same, I took a break from it. The opportunity cost of what I can do with a week is too high.

Certbot exiting 0 is not success. If you’re not deploying everywhere and verifying a real TLS handshake, you didn’t automate anything.

Lighthouse’s β€œFirst Meaningful Paint” sounds important. It isn’t.
It’s deprecated, misleading, and still confusing people into fixing the wrong stuff.

Here’s what FMP actually was, why Google killed it, and what to watch instead.

I’ve debugged this exact Safari error way too many times.

It usually shows up after someone copies WKWebView code into a regular browser context and everything explodes. If this feels familiar, you’re not alone.
